The Eastern Anarchists Prejudicing the
Cases of Their Conde mined Brethren by
Their Injudicious Utterances-A Char
acteristic Circular TO ''Wori<inslnen" Call
ing Upon them 10 Prerent the "Horribie
Deed"
COLUMBUS, O., Sept 30.-The following
circular, which is dated New York, and
now published both in German and En-
gIish, was distributed very quietly yester-
day by the Anarchists, calling on the
workingmen to prevent the hanging OF
the condemned An archists at Chicago:
To the Hortinqnsea Of the United States and
North -4naericd:
You have heard the Supreme Court de ision
in the Chicago Anarchists Gases. 1t strikes
like q thunderbolt in the heart of every free
man. The judges who have affirmed the SEN
tencc stand on level with the notorious police
bandit, Captain Bonffeld; with the barbarous
prosecutor, Ebersold with the monumental
peajurer, Setback; with the corrupt jury: with
the tiger of the bar, Grinpell, and with the
scoundrel of all scoundrels, Gary, the manager
Of the greatest Judiciary crime of our times.
Our comrades, Spes, Parsons, Schwab,
Fielden, Lingg, Fischer and Engel, are to ex-
pire the gallows while Neebe must be
doomed to death in dungeon and yet no man
has the hardihood to claim that any OF these
eight martyrs threw the famous bomb on May
4. lo-O rum u ltBdi pOlllt VI fiCh AOI q oh"NO"
Of evidence was furnished that any one OF our
eight prosecuted comrades were directly or in
directly participants in the affair. Why then
were these champions of free speech condemn
ed? Because they exercised the rights guar
anteed to all men by the Constitution OF this
country Though the trial occupied nearly two
months and perjured witnesses came trooping
into the court in droves, 1t was Impossible to
lay other crime at their doors.
American workers. will YOU Suffer this out
rage to be flung in your face2 Will you remain
silence and allow that socal-3d justice snail oe
defIed in so bloody q manner-a dastardly
deed alleged to be sanctioned by the VII OF the
people? 1t must never be. Arise in your i'm
posing might, and let your righteous wrath fall
in unmistakable protest upon the heads OF
these interpreters OF the law who have basely
betrayed their trust.
The aims and purposes of anarchy have been
blackguarded and villifed by the fends OF
humanity, who feast upon your servitude You
Will know how to guard against such slandet
and assert your own manhood.
Anarchy is not frightful chaos as pictured
by the hired press; it aims. on the contrary, al
the fraternal harmony of all mankind. What
the Anarchists strive at is to put stop to the
wholesale fleeing of tolers by shrewd S1onop-
olists and the robbers who masquerade rs ex-
change spectators. The suppression OF every
injustice and tyranny and the establishment
OF q social cOnulIlOn, WneIe each
c ntributes his share of useful work and enjoys
the bene fits OF life in rational manner-that
is our ideal ATarchis-u is neither bloodshed,
hcenti0uspess. uar nettation OF !. very hu,n'saT
principle. 1t is synonymous with humanity,
freedom and justice
The crime for which the seven men in Chi
cago are to be hanged is purely devotion to
these high and noble aspirations. The beasts
of capital want blood. Their hirelings have
shown themselves ready to seize the best and
noblest from the ranks Of the people and
render them up to their senseless rage.
Workmen, will yoE remain quiet while the
strivings Of your people, identical with the
holiest yearrings of mankind, are sacrificed
and trampled under foot in the persons Of your
comrades. You know what is your duty.
These condemned men are suffering because
they Lowell mankind better than themselves
because they wrote and preached to you, and
for you the gospel Of the future.
Now you must demonstrate your solidarity,
| the strength Of your organization. Gather to-
| gether, summon our comrades from every side
| and proclaim our opinions in such way that
! no doubt can remain of their character. The
| worlzingmen Of America must show that their
| sense Of justice and their hatred or tyranny in
| this shameless form has not been destroyed II
| you wish to do SO you can prevent the consum
| nation of November 11-ths horrible deed tc
| which the deeds Of cannibals nothing
we uelldHu tHaJ every Hltn uoes AiS uulJ, diio
| that you say to this rabble of thieves and mur.
| derers which rule you: THUS far and no fur
| ther'i
Indignation meetings must be called and
| held as quickly as possible. Above all, it is
necessary that the interpreters of the Consti
| tuition at Washington be spurred to pass upon
| this judicial murder proposed at Chicago The
| judgement OF blood is not yet executed. Let
| every man do his duty and it never will be.
| Long live the solidarity Down with bar
| barism.
